Whos going to guard who?

Who do you think will guard lebron? And whos going to guard curry?

Green vs Lebron?

Delly vs Curry?

[SilkkTheShocker]

LeBron handed Green his fat ass last time he guarded him

[Rocketswin2013]

I don't even know who starts on the Cavs. But I'd put Shumpert on Curry. He's athletic enough get around those screens. Bogut, Green, and Barnes will manhandle Delly. They like to let Green roam around and **** shit up like an NFL safety. Igudola will be tasked with LeBron imo. Thompson might get Irving. Curry on whoever else.

[Eric Cartman]

Everyone will be on Lebron at one point or another, trying to f*ck up his rhythm (Green, Iggy, Barnes, Curry, Livingston, Thompson).

Probably won't matter, Lebron always shits on the Dubs.

lebron has a history of destroying the warriors in the regular season, they'll probably throw iggy, barnes, and green at him

[Thorpesaurous]

I would guess Iguodala, Barnes, Green, and even Thompson will all get their shots at Lebron. Green is gonna have a hell of a time with him on the perimeter, but if they choose to lay off him a bit and see how he shoots, that makes sense. He's the hardest guy for Bron to post up on. Problem is playing Thompson and Mozgov together, while killing the spacing, has been brutal on the offensive glass, and if Green plays Bron, that may continue to be a problem.

When Bron is at PF it still may be possible to hide Green on Shumpert or Smith, unless Smith gets hot.


Even if Kyrie is 100% I could still see Delly getting pretty good minutes on Curry, and Shump getting the bulk of Thompson's work.

I'd also guess they'll put Lebron on Iggy and Livingston as often as possible to let him roam. Otherwise he might get a bunch of Green, who as good as he's become off the catch, probably still is the easiest guard for Bron. He'll probably be given a bunch of Barnes too. Unless Thompson gets piping hot I don't see Bron the defender coming out of his roaming shell to try to physically try to lock someone down. Although I'd love to see a fourth quarter or two where he's sicked onto Curry just to see what would happen. He's not the same guy as 3 years ago, but I'd love to see him try for a short stretch.

[Solefade]

the biggest problem i see for the cavs is who is kyrie going to guard?

[SexSymbol]

Alright, this is how it goes.
Thompson is likely to defend Kyrie, and Curry takes delly
Barnes and Iggy go at bron, maybe green some times.
Bron takes Thompson, Delly takes Barnes
Shump takes Curry

I suspect this as well. They may try Klay as well, but I doubt it is effective and lasts long.
